Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cloves garlic, roasted and mashed
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole milk or dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk)
- 1 egg
- Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap garlic cloves in foil with a splash of olive oil and roast for 20 minutes until soft and fragrant. Let cool and mash into a paste.
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk milk, olive oil, and egg. Stir in mashed garlic and chopped rosemary.
- Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a wooden spoon. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
[‘Roast garlic until soft and caramelized for the best flavor.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the muffins light and fluffy.’, ‘Fresh rosemary is recommended, but dried rosemary can be used in half the quantity.’, ‘Customize toppings with sea salt, sesame seeds, or additional herbs.’]
